To get back on the court, fully vaccinated players who test positive but are asymptomatic must return two negative tests on separate days or wait 10 days after their positive test. All players who enter the protocols must receive medical clearance from a team and league physician before they can rejoin their teams, and those who exhibit moderate or severe symptoms also must receive a cardiac screening. In addition to Tuesday’s game against Sacramento, the Lakers will face the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, the Boston Celtics on Dec. 7 and the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec. 9 over the next 10 days.
